How to Plate Desserts? Here are some tips on how you can make your deserts more delicious
- Get beautiful dessert plates, and bowls.
To be able to plate your desserts, you will first need some beautiful dishes, plates, and bowls. Afterall, there are unique plates and bowls of different sizes for each type of dessert, thus they cannot be served in the same dishes as your full course meals. The restaurant-style dessert plating can only be achieved if you invest in some good quality and unique utensils for your sweets.
- Make it a platter
If you have multiple desserts, and are confused about how to present them, making them into a platter will help. Start by placing your main dessert in the focal point of the plate and arrange the other sweets around it. This not only helps in utilising less plates, but also makes it more accessible for the guests to have it.
- Be creative with textures
While we all think it’s beautiful to contrast chocolate with vanilla, they sometimes merge in to make one bland sweet dish. It is because they are similar in texture. Think of bringing together different textures when preparing your dessert plates.
- Add colour to your plates
Make sure you use bright and colourful ingredients while making your desserts. Think of how you can top up your vanilla cake with berries and strawberries. Or sprinkle coconut sugar on your chocolate fudge cake. Colourful desserts are always sure to attract your guests with.
- Garnish the dessert right
You can never run out of options when it comes to garnishing. For instance, you can garnish your sweets with fruit cravings, chocolate powder, cookies, nuts, creams, or syrups. Combine the right tastes and add amazing flavour to your dessert bowl.
- Don’t overdo
You shall keep a balance between playing around on the plate and leaving enough space for the dessert. If you add too many sweets at once, your dessert plate or bowl may become too wobbly or tall. You wouldn’t want your four layered ice cream scoops to fall downfall halfway to the guests.
- Stay consistent
Consistency is the key, no matter what you are doing. When you give your beautiful dessert plates a try every time you make one, your mind will explore new ideas and techniques. You will also get familiar with different plating types of desserts. Don’t forget to keep adding to your dessert plates collection from Table Matters. You will need beautiful and aesthetic dessert plates and bowls to decorate your desserts.
